Homeopathy Software for Students
Browser-based repertory + materia medica + case notes. No USB dongle, no $2k clinic license. Learn Kent, Boericke, and Boenninghausen free — upgrade when you graduate.
What Students Need (and Don't Need)
Student software should teach you Kent, Boericke, and case-taking — not burden you with clinic-grade billing features you won't use until graduation.
Classical repertories
Kent, Boericke, Boenninghausen — the repertories your course teaches. Not 40+ speciality repertories you'll never open.
Basic materia medica
Clarke, Allen, Boericke, Kent. Enough to confirm remedy pictures and learn the polycrests.
Case notes for supervised cases
Record consultations, rubrics, and prescriptions. Similia's free tier allows 3 new cases + 3 analyses per month — enough for coursework.
Semantic search
Type symptoms in plain English ("scared of the dark") and find the right rubric without memorising Kent's 19th-century terminology.
No USB dongle or install
Browser-based means you sign in from any device — laptop, tablet, phone — and your cases sync. No dongle to lose, no desktop install to break after an OS update.
Expensive clinic licences
You don't need billing, multi-user access, or 40 repertories as a student. Those are for established practices, not coursework.
Your First Repertorization in 3 Steps
No tutorial needed. Search a symptom, pick rubrics, see which remedies cover the case.
Search for a symptom
Type "restless at night" or "thirsty for cold water" in plain English. Similia's semantic search finds matching rubrics across Kent, Boericke, and Boenninghausen without you needing to know the exact repertory wording.
Add rubrics to your case
Click the rubrics that match your patient's symptoms. Weight them (normal, prominent, or keynote) based on how characteristic they are. Similia shows which remedies cover each rubric.
Review the remedy shortlist
See which remedies cover the most rubrics, check their materia medica profiles, and choose your prescription. Free tier includes Clarke, Allen, Boericke, and Kent MM.
